From the intersection of SE 19th street and A1A1, head SSW on A1A1 for 218 ft... Hand a left and head directly east for 3,105 ft. >> Oh yeah, I meant 'The' not the...... > > Oh, ok...

I make a left out my door, walk straight until it's easier to swim, then swim until I see the wreck. Oh, and do you mean A1A? LD. > I make a left out my door, walk straight until it's easier to swim, then > swim until I see the wreck. > Oh, and do you mean A1A? Yeah, aka S. Ocean Blvd... For some reason, it looked like an A1A1 on my map... Looking a little closer, it turns out that what I thought was a '1' was in fact a '|' instead... > >> Oh yeah, I meant 'The' not the...... > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > swim until I see the wreck. > Oh, and do you mean A1A? Did you move since I slept on your couch? JF > Did you move since I slept on your couch? Nawh, but he had to get a new couch... >> Did you move since I slept on your couch? > > Nawh, but he had to get a new couch... I did, unfortunately this one doesn't pull out and is too short for Curtis.....otherwise he'd have been here for the last coupla days.

That could be any place I've ever lived in at one time or another. ;0) The old one was half way up the building, this one is on top. I think it was this one though.

It was pretty high up and looked south on the beach from the balcony.

If I can jump in here, I lived on El Mar Drive a half a block south of the Pelicans and the only time i had a complaint was when Andrew was heading in for a visit, the weather guy said there could be a 30 foot storm surge and I was sitting on my livingroom couch at 12 ft. above sea level. The compaint was that I only had 2 tanks filled at the time and figured I'd need 3 or 4 to properly dive in my livingroom. Cheers all...

Hi Ed, When I left LBTS in 96 it couldn't even support a dive shop (there were no parking meters yet either). I know it has gained in popularity in the past decade BUT there's bound to be some folks amongst my N.A. and global viewers who don't yet know the place. BTW... have you by wild chance come across Ricky and Kona at the LBTS beach? If so tell them their CDN friend with the mustange says hi! Cheers. > Hi Ed, > > When I left LBTS in 96 it couldn't even support a dive shop (there were > no parking meters yet either). Don't tell Andres that. IIRC he's had his shop there since at least '95. At least that's when I met him there.....and it was a dive shop before that too. LD.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Cheers. Hi Limey, It was Captain Als up to 94 then shut down (or was sold) and I'm happy to see it's doing better. It's where i got my certification with a great dive master by the name of Stan. He's a big guy with a passion for night diving and LOBSTERS. Cheers... Rand > > Hi Ed, > > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > > > Cheers. > Hi Limey, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Cheers... Rand Ah OK. I lived across the street from there and used to hang out with Andres back in '95, before I was a diver. That was right after he moved in there.....he's still there, I see him occasionally. Haven't heard of Stan but there's a lot of turn over with instructors/ DM's around here. LD. >> > Hi Ed, >> > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> > >> > Cheers. You'll be happy to know that the lobsters this were HUGE and SHALLOW. Not lots of them but most people got 6 or so... The beach divers got their fill early. >>Hi Limey, >> [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] >>>> >>>>Cheers. > You'll be happy to know that the lobsters this were HUGE and SHALLOW.

Hogfish for dinner last night, bonus!
